Or... the Vista Indexing service kicked into overdrive when you added your large non-P8 runtime(s). You never did show us any of the messages you got, or your active tasks. Then you said you were done with P8 and you hated it.

So I didn't bother continuing to help you investigate what is going on.

Which perhaps indicates you haven't read some of my input, or it's possibly a waste of time repeating it.

1)You know very well  I've told you that for weeks I've been repeatedly loading my P7 runtime into P8, without crashing the computer, so there can't be a connection. You know that!

2)There's no point you complaining I haven't shown you active tasks, when you haven't thought of explaining how to extract the list. Just as smithmicro support asked for specific information, but never bothered to explain how to supply it. You know I cannot supply a screenshot of a very long partly concealed list. AND, you didn't ask to see it, you just said "I need to see it badly", which is not the same as "Can I see the list, and here's how you get it"

3)And now we are left with your opinion that my drives indexing is the reason my security got totally knocked out, when it has never happened before with P8, and certainly doesn't happen with P5, and P7.

4)You know I didn't say I hated P8, I said I didn't really like 3D art in general. I made it very clear I still consider P8 an unresolved item, and not just for me, either. We probably have a bleak future to look forward to of problems with further upgrades, P8 is not the last. I haven't had a peep of a problem with CinemaXL, Carrera, Hexagon, Daz Studio, or any other 3D software that runs perfectly happily on my computers, and has done so for years. P8 is the only serious exception.

5)I don't think it's occurred to you why I felt it essential to delete those extra 2 rogue installations of P7, because I thought it possible P8 was searching for all three runtimes at once. I remember from a long time ago that programs that get duplicated can screw up another associated program that is only linked to one instalation. That might well explain that P8 was slow because it was trying to load three duplicate runtimes at once, and that's why it speeded up considerably when I deleted those extra runtimes.

6)Nowhere do you acknowledge that P7 works perfectly well on my computers, even it had a screwed up runtime, and was running, accordeing to you, on a screwed up computer! That strongly suggests to me that whoever wrote P7 managed to produce a program that is far more rugged and dependable than Poser 8 - or that P8 is intended for a computer that is far superior to mine.
